hello all

A few new buildings to show off. let's start with  the winner of my competition

A design for a industrial tower using pringle tubes.






A large double barracks with a small platform in the centre.
This one was a request from a while ago.

It's a fairly large building at 320mm x 290mm

It is packed with detailed tiles all over the roof and has optional doors / windows.






A large factory/warehouse designed to fill maximum floor space.

Features a removable roof with access to the inside, two large doors allow for medium/small tanks and vehicles to enter the buildings.

The roof has space for a large platform and a chimney stack, which can be placed anywhere

Inside there is a large open room with space for several vehicles or even and objective with several entrance to assault from. There is a balcony which will give line of sight over the battle but sacrifices cover

Measure 295mm x 295mm x 200mm (not including chimneys)

This is a simple kit that will be easy and quick to assemble and has massive scope for customising the interior and exterior








This is the first version of the upcoming Refuse Furnace.

It needs a bit on work on it, to add some more details and make best use of the wood to reduce waste

The building is packed with details and interesting parts.

There are two refuse inputs which are fitted with crushing rollers and hinged doors that can be opened / closed at will

The roof features a ventilation system and the side of the building there is a fan assisted fume stack

The building is on a 200mm x 200mm base

I like the first and last ones. Nice looking, different shapes, and some good detailing.

On the factory - its a bit basic. I know you suggest it is good for adding detailing - but I think a lot of people would be happy to buy that detailing. One of the biggest problems with MDF buildings is stopping them looking like flat sided boxes. I think perhaps having two versions of this - a basic one, as shown. And a detailed one with lots of extra bits to break up the flat sides.

Have you tried adding card parts to your kits? Sarrisa do this with window frames and arches to go around doors etc - the range Leon carries from the states does this too. It allows you to add some extra bits which are thinner than MDF (and presumably cheaper too).

There are two refuse inputs which are fitted with crushing rollers and hinged doors that can be opened / closed at will
The roof features a ventilation system and the side of the building there is a fan assisted fume stack

A brand new building from me, The Ingot Factory.
This is one of my most detailed buildings i have produced. It is packed with industrial features.
There is a large tank on top of the building to store red hot metal in which then runs down in to a smaller tank ready to be poured into ingot moulds. This area would look great painted up in reds/yellows using object source lighting techniques to represent the glow of molten metal. Both tanks have an extra piece of wood in them to represent the level of the metal and provide a great flat surface to paint onto. These can the altered in height between two levels
The rest of the building features numerous industrial themed details. Along the walls we have area vents to feed the internal furnace to keep all the metal molten and heat extractors to take area excess heat
it's a decent size at 250mm x 290mm.
At the front of the control tower we have some pipes supplying fuel to heat the metal.






This listing is for one Tech post.  laser cut buildings intended for Warhammer and other 28mm scale table top wargames
A simple building, with a large balcony for positioning your troops on.
All doors and windows can be covered or left open,

depth 200mm
height 75mm






This is the large hex bunker; this impressive building is highly detailed.
The first one to feature Coloured Perspex
The roof and door can be removed at any time.
It comes with 3 gun variants all of which can be made and a radar dish.
The bunker measures 160 x 290 x 54 mm
The bunker also come the a heap of extra walls / barricades, tank traps and hedgehogs
This building covers a large area very well and would make a great centrepiece for an attack / defend game
And when you are finished you can store all the parts inside out of the way and well protected

Fab looking buildings... The tech post, the furnace and the power plant would look good in an Alien's game :)
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Great buildings.
Love the power plant but I want three more chimneys and an inflatable pig (one for Techno there)!
